I'll keep posting on his progress.
Hi I prefer 34c for their basking spot they will need this to digest grasses if they are on a natural diet Just be cautious and limit their times say a couple of sessions perday of 3 - 4 hours max. Hydration is very important so access to clean fresh water 24/7. Bathing every couple of days won't do any harm either. All the handling is a good idea because they soon become very large adults.
